Cardboard is beautiful
especially when exposed
Revealing the ridges
hidden beneath
Like Teak or Oak
its moving color and texture
are alluring
I like my cardboard in large pieces
The larger, the less limited
the potential
Cardboard is experimental
Cardboard is gold
Cardboard can be cut
And Cardboard can fold
I found a piece of cardboard today
and breathed my fingertips across it's surface
inhaling the hair-like filaments it grows
listening to the harmony it sang
Cardboard is beautiful
especially when exposed
Cardboard can be cut
and Cardboard can fold
